CBD VS THC

A precision : CBD products sold in Paris legally contain cannabidiol exclusively, not to be confused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

These are two of the best known and most consumed cannabinoids. Certainly, these two molecules are similarly derived from the hemp plant, which you know by its common name cannabis. But this is their only common point, since THC changes the consumer's state of consciousness (it is he who makes "high") while CBD is a relaxant, sometimes used to counter the psychotropic effects of THC.

A question of legality

The distinction between THC and CBD is important, since one is legal and the other is not. THC is still considered a narcotic in France, which means that its marketing and consumption are not authorized. Whether for recreational or medical use. CBD, his, is legal in France as in several other countries of the European Union, because it does not produce the psychotropic effects of its cousin.

As a border between legality and illegality, the legislator has imposed a THC threshold not to be exceeded : 0,2 %. This is the limit allowed for THC in any CBD product. An obligation that weighs on the hemp plant itself (on its stems or on its seeds) and not on the finished product. If the plant from which the CBD is extracted does not respect this constraint, the product you buy in store, even indicated as containing less than 0,2 % de THC, is therefore not legal. Due to the complexity of the law with regard to cannabidiol, it is crucial that you can clearly differentiate between products when buying CBD in Paris.
